Being used as an ELINT/SIGINT platform, world's last airworthy C-160D Transall transport aircraft (69-036) of 12th Air Transport Base Command of Turkish Air Force will not fly again. Aircraft has received severe damages after the crash landing in Kayseri. Good to know : "Transall" is an abbreviation of the manufacturing consortium Transporter Allianz, comprising the companies of MBB, Aerospatiale, and VFW-Fokker. #aircraft #aviation

Impressive solution of automatic refuelling thanks to CoreAVI solutions.

The MK Airbase is getting an upgrade. An important and right step, in my opinion. https://lnkd.in/dpWAHZ9K

Further developments in the Middle East. EASA updated the CZIB about the airspace of Israel. This changes comes after just 2 weeks, yet the developments are more dynamic. Hence the importance to review, fine-tune and adjust mitigation measures and contingency planning.

#throwbackthursday and a couple of AV-8B Harriers' from VMA-331 "Doodlebugs" taxiing at MCAS Iwakuni, Japan in the late 1980s, I don't recall the exact year. One of those Maritime Patrol Aviation days on deployment, we were told to gas up and go back out on patrol in the Sea of Japan to max out our flight day. It has been announced that the AV-8B Demo Flights at the MCAS Cherry Point NC Airshow in May will be their last as the Marines transition to the F-35. #av8bharrier #usmc #mcasiwakuni #jet #jets #aviation #aviationgeek #aviationgeeks #avgeek #avgeeks #avnerd #aviationlovers #aviationhistory #aviationdaily #aviationphoto #aviationphotos #aviationphotography #airplane #airplanes #flymarines #navalaviation

In that context, the European Commission and EASA have decided to issue CZIBs recommending not to operate within the airspaces of Lebanon and Israel at all flight levels. The recommendation is valid until October 31, 2024 and can be reviewed earlier and adapted or withdrawn subject to the revised assessment. #Aviation #airlines #MiddleEast #AirSpace #NearEast #IATA

✈️Flight Ops Info✈️🚨 The European Commission and #EASA are closely monitoring the situation in the #MiddleEast following increased tensions between #Israel and #Hezbollah. They recommend avoiding the airspace of #Lebanon and Israel at all flight levels. This recommendation is in effect until #October31, 2024, subject to review depending on risk developments. EASA will continue to assess the situation to adjust #safety guidelines accordingly. https://lnkd.in/eVzjwrfW

The European Commission and #EASA have updated the Conflict Zone Information Bulletin (CZIB) for Israel issued on September 28, 2024. The revised CZIB recommends air operators to implement a stringent monitoring process and risk assessment for each flight when intending to operate within the airspace of Israel. The recommendation is valid until October 31, 2024  and can be reviewed earlier and adapted or withdrawn subject to the revised assessment. EASA will continue to closely monitor the situation, with a view to assess whether there is an increase or decrease of risks for #EU aircraft operators as a result of the evolution of the threat.

The C-17 is capable of rapid strategic delivery of troops and all types of cargo to main operating bases or directly to forward bases in the deployment area. The aircraft can perform tactical airlift and airdrop missions and can transport litters and ambulatory patients during aeromedical evacuations. The inherent flexibility and performance of the C-17 force improve the ability of the total airlift system to fulfill the worldwide air mobility requirements of the United States.

There are approximately 200 aircraft Near-Midair Collisions Reported Each Year… Actual Collisions: Between 15 and 25 Fatal: 70% Distance From Airport Most Occur: Within 5 miles Average Altitude: Less than 1,000 feet Typical Meteorological Conditions: VFC Most Common Time: 10 a.m.-5 p.m., weekends Percent Occurring Within Traffic Pattern: Around half During Takeoff/Climb: 10% At Non-Towered Airports: 78% Cases Involving No Radio Communication: About half Cases Involving A CFI: 37% Average Experience Of Pilots Involved: 5,000 flight hours Understanding midair collisions helps pilots, air traffic controllers, and other aviation professionals develop strategies to prevent these incidences.
